21 children by 11 different women... and he's only 29

If the children need assistance, it should be funded through voluntary charity programs, not mandated charity.

Voluntary charities can't fairly compete with government charities. That's my point. People donate less to private charities when forced by taxation to donate to government charities.

Seems like a humorous story to the reporters and I guess for most of those involved, it is a little funny but it's not funny to the public who are paying an untold amount of money to support all these kids and I doubt it will be funny to the slew of bastarrd kids left behind by this guy.

Q: Which is greater, his right to keep procreating or the States right to order a vasectomy?

Man fathers 21 children by 11 different women... and he's only 29

A man aged 29 has fathered 21 children with 11 different women, it emerged yesterday.

Desmond Hatchett's brood came to light after authorities in Tennessee in the U.S. took him to court for non-payment of child support.

He has apparently set a U.S. record but said: 'It just happened.'

He added that he would not have any more children. 'I'm done. I'll say I'm done,' he said.

Hatchett, who earns a minimal wage, told TV reporters he knows the names and ages of all his offspring.

Their ages range from newborn to 11 years old.

Authorities in Knoxville said they plan to take half of his monthly salary to pay for the youngsters but officials said that would work out to just over £1 a week for each.

His lawyer Keith Pope said: 'The children can't all be supported by Desmond, so the state of Tennessee has had to step in.'

Many Knoxville residents called for him to be castrated.

He even boasted of fathering four children by different women in the same year.

Hatchett's name appeared on court documents 11 times representing 15 of his 21 children.

U.S. authorities are now braced for more women coming forward to claim Hatchett is the father of their children after he appeared on local TV.

He said the women he was involved with all knew he had other children.

One mother, who has two children with Hatchett, said she should get £44 a month but rarely receives any child support.

'It's frustrating, but usually, when I ask he gives it to me,' she said.

Authorities in Knoxville ordered Hatchett to court to explain how he intends to pay child support.

He arrived for the hearing with just over £300...........

I am Libertarian so this is simple for me. His right to procreate with stupid women is far more superior than any right of the state. All peopl ehave a right to be stupid and live with the consequences. The state simply needs to stop paying for this and get out of the child support business. They then have no interest and nothing to say. The 11 women who made stupid decisons about the person donating sperm to them should find a way to deal with. That is what the civil court system is for. It is not a government responsibility to control people's reproductive cells or pay for the result. Stupid decisions SHOULD result in hardship and loss for those that make stupid decisions. There would be less stupid decisions made that way. But since women cannot decide to keep their legs closed when near this man, the state wants to sterilize HIM. What about the 11 stupid women, maybe they should be sterilized? Maybe sterilize them all, maybe lobotomize them, we used to do that...that worked! Didn't it?

When the courts and judges start to say "Get out my courtroom!" Then this stuff will stop. As long as women think the womb is a slot machine and expect a government jackpot if they put enough in the slot and the government continues to fill the role of a "father" (no treally, more like a sugar daddy) then this will never stop

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

I am amused that a number of you people suggest this guy needs to "learn something".

This concept that "education" is the answer is laughable.

Do you really think, even after the guy has heard 21 times that he got someone knocked up, he is just one condom-class away from changing?

The main problem is, Gov't does every thing to feed into this type of behavior by either rewarding or softening the effects of their actions..... how do they do it?

By holding the kids as hostage!

She says to us all.....

#######: if you don't pay me money every month, my kids won't eat right.

#######: if you don't help me pay my power bill, my kids will be cold.

#######: If I can't afford a decent apartment, my kids will grow up in a bad neighbor hood and end up in jail.

They Guy is just looking to get laid (who isn't) ...and he does not like using condoms (who does?).

This type behavior is not only being reproduced but "Mass-produced" as in all likelyhood, his offspring will follow this same pattern.

Exactly, and the government needs to tell the ####### to walk with her kids to a warmer climate because they are gonna get cold here. If hse can find him, she can drag the sperm donor along with her. When the government insists people take responsibility for themselves this stuff will stop, natural selection will take care of the rest.

Voluntary charities did not have the necessary resources before taxation. They still don't.

OK, once again from the top.

When the government confiscates money from my earnings (taxes for those that do not pay them and do not understand) which I worked for to feed MY family and force me to "donate" to the government charity of welfare and other subsidies for stupid women that accept sperm from stupid men....then THAT money is no longer available for me to donate to local charities to help people who's home was burned down or destroyed by a tornado or some other tradgedy that was not related to their own stupidity! And therefore not supported and subsidized by the government. Get it?

Gary, do you know what percentage of you Fed income tax goes to welfare? Because if you do, you can then estimate how much you are paying for welfare based on your annually salary. Now, if you were to donate the same amount to your favorite charity, your taxable income would be less. You can complain all you want about taxes going towards things you don't agree with, but that's just part of living in this country...or any country for that matter.

Well excuse me. But by taking 1/3 of what I earn for my children you are punishing THEM because of this guys (and 11 girls actions) The women should have more concern about the decisions they make. Yes their children will have a tough life. Big surprise. Think about it before they do it.

So we should punish and take from the children of responsible adults that made wise decisions to pay for the children of stupid adults who made stupid decisions? Exactly WHERE is the incentive to make wise decisions. I think the reality of a terrible life for one's child would be a pretty strong incentive to get an education and choose another responsible adult to make babies with.

I see the folks walking their baby on weekdays out under the sun enjoying their time at the parks. Socializing. There's nothing wrong with that. However, there's something wrong with these people. They live in public housing. Collect government benefits (i.e welfare) and not make themselves better. With their big ####### smiling and socializing makes my eye filled with fire.

Now, I'm a hard worker. Heck, I worked my ####### off through school to become the first Cambodian to get a degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering in my community. Heck, my parents collected SSI. Well, there's a valid reason. The US goverment bombed my country rendering shrapnards into my parents organs. They have scar tissue that causes pain in their movement. So, they cannot work. The US government granted them each 600 dollars/month until they die. This is a very valid reason to get benefits. I donate approximately 1500 dollars yearly to charity mainly to Muscular Distrophy kids or Jerry's Kids.

It makes me furious that these people are taking their leisure time for strolls in the park. They are young. About 24, 25 years of age. They do it almost every freakin day. It irritate me. Well, there's nothing I can about it. All I'd like to see is for the government to stop their pay outs to them. This will create a sense of stress that will make them want to go out and work.

Sorry, your math doesn't work but it is probably because you never did income taxes.

Let's say I know that exactly $10,000 of my taxes goes to welfare. So "instead" I DONATE another $10,000 of my income to local charities. Only I CAN'T do this "instead" as the government does not give me this choice and confiscates the money from pay before I can receive it and makes decisions about how to use it. This way they can give it to stupid sluts who open their legs and make babies with anyone. Most normal people would abject to this and not voluntarily donote to such nonsense. So, anyway, I follow your stellar tax advise and donate the money to the local disaster relief fund and they are very happy and give me a "thank you dinner"

Come the next February, I DEDUCT the $10,000 from my income. WOW a great idea you had. I am in the 35% tax bracket and will get $3500 of my $10,000 "back" (thank you very much oh wise and benevolent government, oh and never mind, keep the interest on the loan) and STILL paid $10,000 to welfare. So now I am out $20,000 and got back $3,500. Yikes. Get a clue.

See, the problem is, donations are deductions from INCOME, not from TAXES. So you only "save" the amount of tax you would have paid on that amount of income. Paying $10,000 for the purpose of recieiving a one time return of $3,500 would make me more stupid than the sluts making babies with this prize winning sperm shooter.

On the other hand, if you left me the $10,000 in MY income and then taxed my spending, instead of my income, giving me some disgression on how to spend some money. Especially if donations were not a taxed form of "spending"

I am not "complaining" I am stating fact. My, sometimes sarcastic tone may make it sound like a complaint, it is not. When enough people are informed of the facts, they can change things in this country. That is part of living in this country also. This can happen before the total collapse of our economy under these burdens, or after. Depends how many people are will to listen and understand that individuals pay for ALL in this country. Government has NO wealth, has NO money except what they confiscate from individuals and cannot possibly address problems more efficiently than WE can.

I bet this guy has a shot a being the President of USA in the near futurre..........

No WAY! Col. Bat Guano will beat him 54% to 41% in the general elections because of Guano's brilliant tax policies to save all middle class taxpayers $3500 each!!!!!!
